Jack in the pulpit (thanks Christian)
I'm not sure how rare these things really are but I tromp arround the woods a lot and have only seen a couple in several years. Never have I seen one in this setting. I think durring the flooding of a few weeks ago this poor thing thought it was planting itself along side a nice river (now at least a hundred feet back from it).
Anyway after getting mud all over my pants and shirt getting this shot and enduring the rest of the day in the office looking like a ditch digger I thought it would be a good PAD entry.
